would a r be good as a woods bike

[lilwitting]

i know they are gas guzzlers but besides that would they be good in the woods

IMO their one of the best in the woods, Ballance used to be #1 on an R, EASILY. However, now that there was the big switch to 4-stroke, Borich gives him a run for his money. Most likely he just hasn't found his niche on the 4-stroke. I think if he had the oppurtunity to switch back, he would.

Hell, I switched from a 4-stroke to a 2-stroke. Might seem backwards, but I couldn't be happier.

The woods is the only place I ride my R's. I dont know what you mean by gas guzzler. My range is 70-75 miles per tank, right on par with the 2 Rappys, and 2 Z-400 in my group. And the thumpers cant hang.

in addition to these guys comments, barry hawk was a 7 time gncc champ aboard the 250R,

arguably the best trail machine ever built

You will get a great work out in the woods..
